4 inch suspension 2 inch coil lift
I know having a 4 inch suspension lift you don't have to change your drive shafts but by adding a 2 inch coil lift would you have to changeout your dive shafts because technically that would be 6 inches of lift....

K ass hole! I said I want to get a 4 inch suspension lift (you don't have to change your drive shafts for a 4 inch lift) and I'd like to add a 2 inch coil lift to that to total 6 inches of complete lift. My question is adding that 2 inches of coil will that push me to have to get longer drive shafts?

OP yes you should get new driveshafts even with 3+ inches of lift. I myself am getting a new front driveshaft even with my 2.5 RK lift.
-What 4 inch lift are you looking at?
-Are you actually going to wheel your Jeep or is it just going to be driven around the streets ?
-What size tires do you plan on running with that size lift?

Ideally, you should get new drive shafts with 3" of lift. If yours have survived with 4" of lift, consider yourself lucky. You will, however, undoubtedly require new shafts with 6" of lift.
There is a lot involved in a 6" lift (8 new control arms, drive shafts, drag link flip, adjustable track bars, etc.). Are you sure that is the route you want to go? What tires do you want to run? What kind of usage will this see?

One brand of lift at 4 inches is different than another brands. Also depends on your Jeep two door or four door do you have heavy bumpers and a rule is much anything over 3inches of lift you are on borrowed time if you wheel. You can get along for a longer time if you don't wheel hardly at all. Also don't be so cryptic with your question or you will get a asshole response since lift questions get posted all the damn time.

Zone or rubicon express, and yes more than a little but it is my daily driver, and tire size 35-37.

Save yourself a big headache and stick to around 3.5". It requires a lot less work, and can be done cheaper, allowing for higher quality coils/shocks. You will find a lot of negative reviews for the zone and RE lifts.

What is your overall budget that you are looking at roughly? This will give us an idea of how realistic it will be to achieving what you think you will get out of that budget.
My Jeep where it stands im already looking at an easily 5k in parts.
